"Lets see just how impenetrable you are Ira Gamagori." CR4ZY grins cracking his knuckles.

"Not so fast. I dont remember anyone saying you had dibs on going first." Jakuzure says interrupting the, quite frankly, weirdly sexual tension between Gamagori the masochist & the sadist CR4ZY.

"Yeah, I wanna go first!" Sanageyama shouts from his podium.

"Who cares. You'll all get your turns at getting your asses kicked." AJ finishes tuning his guitar before he sends it away via glyph which after taking the guitar spits out a new bass guitar he starts tuning.

Satsuki taps her sword down interrupting everyone. "I have already decided who fights when." A) hums looking up at her, herself stepping forward giving him a peek. "Has anyone even bothered to notice that only two pillars share different heights. The more students you've defeated the higher your pillar. Therefor Gamagori and Tomoko Lockwood will be first. Inumuta and Thomas are next, Then Jakurzure and AJ, And then Sanageyama and Matoi. CX-4 and Ripcord are last.

Jack scoffs. "Damn, killed too many I guess."

CR4ZY grins turning to Tomoko who takes a deep breath. "Well, girlie I guess your up first."

Tomoko she grins stretching. "Heh. Okay." Tomoko jumps to the arena and prepares to fight drawing a red knife and appears in her hand. "Well? Let's get this moving."

"Why are you so hasty? Our battle isn't supposed to begin until 1:00!" Gamagori corrects.

"Huh?" Everyone aside from the elite four and AJ asks.

AJ instead of questioning draws a pistol and shoots Gamagori in the head the bullet doing nothing to the muscle bound freak. "Oi. I don't want to wait till 1! Just get it over with!"

"No, we will stick to the schedule! That's what we call discipline!"

"Deep breaths AJ... maybe if I think good thoughts I won't gut him when no ones looking. Hopefully." AJ grumbles leaping off his tower and down to the floor walking away and shattering a large portion of the school's wall.

Later that afternoon, The group sit for lunch. AJ silently seated away from the group watching the reconstruction of the damage he did to the wall as Tomoko looks into the distance besides him.

"Maybe you should speak with her?" BB says to AJ.

"Whatever." He mutters.

"Hmm? You say something AJ?"

"No. Just bored."

"Bored? We're about to fight aren't we?"

"Well, after saving the earth from some kind of devil alien thingy it feels boring to be back and not have a real challenging opponent. I was hoping I would be one of the first to go up and fight or for a battle royal of some kind but nope, I have to wait, and wait, and wait. It gets irritating the longer it goes."

"Well hey, think about this, after I win we as a group can knock Satsuki off her perch once and for all!" Tomoko grins pumping one of her fist in front of her.

Thomas steps over taking a seat near the pair. "She's not the one your worried about, is it AJ?"

"You're right about that."

Tomoko glances between the brothers. "Then, Who are you worried about?"

"That's a story for later. It's just about time." AJ stands after looking at his watch. He walks off taking a deep breath.

Tomoko nods. "Okay. Let's go."

Once the time comes for the fights AJ stands mostly still, a cold sweat across his brow as he takes short and shallow breaths.

"This should be fun. Hopefully." He stands on his pillar glancing at every person on the other pillars as Tomoko jumps to the arena her Red knife in her hand as Satsuki appears on her pedestal.

"Begin."

Gamagori begins walking towards the arena as Tomoko stands waiting playing with her knife.

"Tomoko. Watch out his uniform has a second transformation." AJ says calmly to her.

"I know, I've seen it."

She stands her fringe casting her eyes into shadows as she closes them, opening again with a bright red light shining from the darkness.

LYou will not beat me Lockwood! Three Star Goku Uniform! Shackle Regalia!"

Tomoko stares at the uniform with a smirk as she looks unimpressed.

"Geez, talk about being into BDSM." She says slanting slightly to the side.

"What interests me is of no concern to you!"

Tomoko simply stands next to Ira as she pulls out a cup of milk and starts drinking it.

"Well?"

Tomoko raises a finger as she continues to drink her milk.

"Do you want to fight or not?"

She signals yes with her finger still drinking milk.

"Then why aren't you attacking me?"

Tomoko finishing her milk throws the cup across the arena floor shattering on impact.

"I love how you think we're stupid. Calling us fools. You idiot."

"Huh?"

"I know what your uniform does, a little birdie told me. Your uniform absorbs the power from the attacks you take and dishes right back at the attacker. You remind me of a Sunny Dragon."

CR4ZY scoffs and yells to her. "Tomoko! Do not go there."

"Ugh. Fine. I mean I could attack you or I could just do this." She places her hands on Gamagori's suit and begins pushing him backwards as she's pushing he begins smacking himself with portions of his uniform as Tomoko steps back smirking. "It's about time."

"This is my Higi Jijo-Jibaku!"

"Higi what?"

"Let me show you. Three Star Goku Uniform! Scourge Regalia!"

He then sends whips out towards Tomoko who upon seeing them regains the red gleam and uses her knife to cut through the whips defending herself expertly not allowing a whip to hit her as she cuts them slowly but by bit. As in the surrounding pillars everyone except Ryuko is able to dodge without trying as Tomoko slowly being pushed back.

"What are you waiting for, if you fall of the edge to the floor you lose the battle!"

"Nice rule you've got there."

She dashes forward cutting through the whips as she reaches the main body she suddenly stops before she makes contact when she sees the suit return to stage one.

"What's wrong, Tomoko?" Gamagori gloats.

"Heh. Your suit is going to be the toughest of them all ain't it." She dodges the whips as they return cutting them slowly and avoiding attacks from behind as she places her palm on the floor and a weird symbol spreads. "Earth Style! Mud Wave!"

The ground of the arena suddenly becomes liquid like moving like waves on the surface of water..

"What is your purpose?" Gamagori asks.

"My purpose?"

"Yes, everyone has one. What is yours?"

"Hmm...? I haven't thought of that in a while. If I had to say... it's protecting the weak from those who wish to bring their tyrannical rule over them. But that's a broader version of it."

"A foolish purpose. But a respectable one."

"Let's see how strong your resolve is. And how far it'll take you."

"Your teams rebellious ways are bad examples! I am the lead of the Disciplinary Committee! I lead by by example! That's why I bind and whip myself so mercilessly! It's how I inspire trouble makers to change your ways and become productive students!"

"It also kills creativity, ya know!" She shouts taking her first hit, a hard whack across her chest if this wasn't a book, it'd be like fan-service.

"It's how I bring order to the chaos at Honnouji Academy! The shackle regalia is the embodiment of that ethos. If you refuse to conform to the rules, that's when I bury my compassion and bring out the whip! That is scourge regalia! And if that still doesn't convince you to fall in line, then you leave me no choice! I'll unleash the might of scourge regalia upon you! I'm going to revoke your independent status!"

"Sorry, not looking for a relationship!"

"And mold you into a proper student!" He separates her from her knife trapping her into a spiked whip as she looks down at her predicament she smirks at Gamagori. He then slams her with two hammers as she screams from the electric energy running through her. "That's it, yes. I will straighten you out! I won't stop until you're molded into a proper student!"

"Come on... come on... Tomoko! Do it!" AJ shouts his breathing becoming more erratic, he thinks he hears BB say something, but he can't hear her.

She slowly moves her hands together making three hand seals...

"Lightning Style! Devolving Currents!" The electricity makes contact with the hammers as they slowly shake like waves before slowly vanishing as the fiber slowly dissolved into its most basic elements. Tomoko however collapses unconscious as CR4ZY jumps to the arena floor he picks her up and hands her to AJ as Gamagōri looks impressed by her response.

"I'll take her place."

"You heard Lady Satsuki! Get back on your pedestal!"

Satsuki taps her sword. "Gamagōri! Show him what it means to be disciplinary committee head! This match is sanctioned!"

Ira simply laughs when his whips start flailing about towards CR4ZY who allows the attack to hit him directly he starts laughing as more and more whips make contact he looks up grinning staring Gamagōri directly in the eyes. His body motionless.

"Wh-What are you?"

CR4ZY grins, looking directly at the audience reading this, his eyes wild. "An Overpowered Character." He winds his fist and dashes forward before Ira can even respond he makes contact everyone watches in stunned silence as Gamagōri's uniform rips to shreds being absorbed by Ryuko and Senketsu. "That was too easy." Gamagōri collapses forward CR4ZY having extracted his fist from the big man's stomach. Who kneels on the floor holding his gut. "Hey, Tank engine! You're next!"

Thomas scoffs. "I'm going to ignore that one."

"Whatever."

"How... pathetic. I can't live with this kind of disgrace."

Drawing a small knife Gamagori shouts while raising it gathering everyone's attention he swings it down towards himself when it's caught by a blade before bing flipped out of his hands and landing in CR4ZY's hands,

"Lady Satsuki?"

"Its too early to be kneeling in defeat, so wipe your tears. And what about you, Christian?"

"Sedoku is a bad thing. Just don't do it." CR4ZY grins returning to his podium.

"Its Sepuku you moron!" AJ corrects.

CR4ZY shrugs. "Sedoku."

AJ sighs trying to calm himself. "Ignore him, ignore him and maybe he'll stop."

Thomas enters the arena and raises a hand playing with a switchblade "Test your might."

"You're so impatient." Inumuta says walking down the stairs.

"Maybe, maybe not. I'd just prefer this be over quickly."

"But I can relate. I hate wasting time, too."

Chapter End.
